Re: Auto-import of RSS feed forum posts 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Hi Pinto,

Thank you for the compliment! Feedgator is responsible for the pretty display. It pulls in an RSS feed story as if it were a regular article. So however you've templated your site is how your story will display. The template I am using is a modified "Ja Wezen" which can be found here if I'm not mistaken. It's a free template.

I modified it to use that pretty blue background image in the content area, repeating horizontally only. I made a new logo area graphic, and I did a couple other little personal touches here and there. The template seems to have a "table" problem when using Joomlaboard. I am waiting to put that site on FB until the "beta" turns into "stable" on this site.

I'll look into that endless loop you describe. I may have a problem I wasn't aware of. Thank you for drawing it to my attention.

Re:RSS News Poster to post News Items as Topics 1 Year ago  
I attempted to use the code here in the configuration of the feedgator component, but it seems it didn't parse it out too well, as when I revisited the config page, half of what I entered was actually below the text box (half in, half out).

So I worked through and found another route this evening, and I wanted to post some instructions to accomplish this:


Open administrator/components/com_feedgator/admin.feedgator.php
Goto line 738, around here you should see:
[code:1]
$fullTxt = mysql_real_escape_string($fullTxt);

$intro = mysql_real_escape_string($intro);
[/code:1]

Change this section to:
[code:1]
$fullTxt = $fullTxt . "{mos_fb_discuss:10}";
$fullTxt = mysql_real_escape_string($fullTxt);

$intro = $intro . "{mos_fb_discuss:10}";
$intro = mysql_real_escape_string($intro);
[/code:1]

It will insert a blank line, then add the discussion bot link in small text, centered, below the article/import.

Demo:

and

Hope this saves someone else some time :)

I've attached my admin.feedgator.php file, note this is for version 0.96!!

Well that's interesting...

Tried to attach a .php file and it stated that gz, rar, zip etc were required for uploads, it successfully posted the edit, but when I went back to put a .gz file on it, the file attachment field was gone.. lol..


Anyway, here is the file..
File Attachment:
File Name: fg.gz

I was wondering if anyone has made any progress on this front?

I would really like to get this sort of thing up and running and it is a necessity for my website... so much so that although i like fireboard a lot i will have to swap forums if i cant find a solution!!!

Any help really appreciated!
